In 2010 a grant was given to Amesbury Town Council to run a Community Information Point in Amesbury.

As with many towns in Wiltshire, Amesbury was greatly affected by the economic downturn, resulting in an increase of empty shops in the town. The creation of the Community Shop made good use of empty shop space, soon developing into a brilliant hub for local information, providing a great opportunity to engage with all these Amesbury residents, giving them the opportunity to gain information on a number of different services and help with any concerns they may have - all accessible under one roof.
